The loss of yet another lineman (Hurst) decimates what we have left to play this season. With the loss of yet another OL, short of a miraculous draft and
picking up help in free agency, are we even able to field a team capable of being competitive?

I hate it, but without a gut and rebuild from the ground up what chances do we have this year?

I believe the Saints chances aren't as bad as you surmise. There's a lot of talent on this team and I have a lot more confidence in Kubiak than I had in Carmichael.
Regardless, I'm looking forward to some good draft picks and hopefully some good players in free agency.

I wonder what we are going to do in the 2nd. Maybe DL? I like the 1st pick I just wish we a few more.

Hopefully OG or DT. Wouldn’t be surprised if we pick a wr though.

I agree. It looks like it should be one of those positions, maybe a CB. There are a lot of great CB's still left.

If DA actually had input on the 1st pick I have to give him credit because we had our pick of any defensive player in the draft and he we still went offense. Had to be gard to turn that down.

True, but they did spend the first two picks on defense last year with Bresee and Foskey.

I might be in the minority but I don't think that WR is a big position of need. Both lines should be addressed as well as the secondary before WR.

It won't surprise me to see us pick another O lineman in the fifth round to help give us better depth along the line. Right now, we don't know much about how the rest of the line shakes out with Penning, and Ram and we need to do better than we did last year protecting our QB and opening holes for the running backs to at least make the line of scrimmage before getting hit.
